    I don't understand what you're implying. This seems like CGC is saying, "we're dropping focus of tasks that seem to be a waste of time". What would the other side be?

    I mean what I say and say what I mean, son. "Shows" are literally markets for a niche.

    If you are buying the book and not the label, then what are you not understanding? It seems like you're making an argument against what you're supporting and it doesn't make sense.

    @Get Marwood & I, I am nominating @ygogolak for the list. Crowley is a win.

    "Shows" have nothing to do with this. I'm not gonna waste time answering those straw-man questions. "Shows" are, again, a niche market.

    How are you even insulted by anything in that post? I've never seen such think skin before. I know who I'm talking to. Blowing up the boards when you joined 8 months ago with nothing but speculation talk was 1 clue. Always talking about "it has room to jump in value" when seeing posts about the current Flavor of the Month is another. "Slabs and 9.8 grades" is another clue. What "excites you" is the same thing that excites gamblers. That's why we always say, "buy the book and not the label", because how will you feel if in 5 months those comics you bought in plastic are only worth 20% of what you spent? Did you buy the book, or did you buy the label...?

    What does this even mean? First appearances don't keep comic shops in business. Selling current comics keep them in business. "First appearances" are another niche market - and not always concrete character-to-character. Again: Encapsulated comics are a niche market inside a niche market.

    He ^ answered the Mint/Gem Mint identification for you. QC obviously has their own problems. It's Customer Service's job to communicate with us (they do, and have, on these boards). Delays are obviously caused by queue. Not sure exactly which delays you're talking about, though.

    Sadly, my work here may never be done!

    Why would you obscure the CGC slab with a bag if you're displaying it/them?
  13. theCapraAegagrus
    NBD, right?
  14. theCapraAegagrus
    You're*, and no, I'm not. They don't make sense.
  15. theCapraAegagrus
    Are you serious...? This must be a rhetorical question...
  16. theCapraAegagrus
    What do these sentences even mean...? Buy the book - not the label. Keys are more available raw than encapsulated, so... You were saying?
  17. theCapraAegagrus
    Are you incapable of learning?
  18. theCapraAegagrus
    We get it. You thinks it's "an investment". That's what 401ks are for, though. Or, in your case, an RRSP. "Financial value" is a tiny fractal reason for buying/collecting encapsulated comics.
  19. theCapraAegagrus
    I've told you at least 7 times. At this point I'm not going to paint myself as a broken record.
  20. theCapraAegagrus
    You nailed it.
  21. theCapraAegagrus
    Use a PC, jabroni!

    I wouldn't sell encapsulated comics if I was an LCS. People need to read these things for the hobby to stay healthy - and to grow. Encapsulated comics don't do anything for them.
  23. theCapraAegagrus
    LCSs aren't designed to "deal" in encapsulated comics. As he ^ said, it's a niche market inside a niche market.
  24. theCapraAegagrus
    Holy run-on sentence, Batman! Get your act together!

    Speculation: I will receive an unpaid vacation for posting a dancing banana emoji in response to this...
